Description

QUATERNIZED NITROGEN CONTAINING COMPOUNDS

In one aspect the invention relates to novel quaternized compounds which possess viscosity enhancing and hair conditioning properties, particularly in the presence of anionic surfactants. In another aspect the invention relates to novel quaternized compounds having bactericidal properties. Still another aspect of the invention relates to the preparation of said quaternized compounds and in still another aspect, the invention relates to the use of said compounds in several fields of application.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The selection of components for hair and skin treating formulations presents numerous difficulties involving compatibility. Several hair treatment and shampoo formulations have been developed which aim to provide conditioning action during cleansing so as to leave the hair soft, manageable and lustrous and thus to eliminate a separate application of creme rinses or conditioning treatments. Problems arise from the limited compatibility of anionic detergents with commercial cationic conditioning agents which precipitate out of solution in shampoo formulations.

Shampoo formulations have employed conventional anionic surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate, ammonium lauryl ether sulfates and sodium lauryl ether sulfates which have been found to be incompatible with most cationic conditioning at effective concentration levels.

Additionally, reproducible thickening for formulations containing anionic detergents such as sodium .alpha.-olefin sulfonates is very difficult to achieve.

Still another problem encountered in hair conditioning shampoos is one of a preservative nature. It has been found that shampoos, containing inadequate preservative, on standing develop strands of pseudomonas aerouginosa which are clearly visible in the liquid and which may cause scalp infection. Consequently, separate biocidal agents are added to the formulation to prevent development of this bacteria and prevent skin infection. These and many other problems are encountered in the formulation of various shampoos, conditioners and cream rinses. Certain of these difficulties are also encountered in skin lotions, healing salves, mouthwashes, etc.

Accordingly it is an object of this invention to minimize or obviate the above problems while providing additional benefits in hair and skin treating formulations.

Another object of the invention is to provide novel quaternized nitrogen containing compounds having unique properties.

Another object is to provide novel quaternized nitrogen containing compounds having excellent hair conditioning and thickening properties when incorporated into a shampoo and having high compatibility with components of hair and skin treating formulations.

Another object is to provide an economical and commercially feasible method for the preparation of said novel quaternized nitrogen containing compounds.

Still another object is to provide processes for the use of said quaternized compounds.

These and other objects will become apparent from the following description and disclosure.

The present quaternary compounds possess unique properties, among which is their ability to build viscosity, for example for liquid having a viscosity less than 50 centipoises, while simultaneously providing a hair and skin conditioning capability in cosmetic formulations containing anionic surfactants. In the context of this application, "conditioning" is intended to include the functions of moisturizing, softening, cleansing, penetrating, disinfecting, luster enhancing, hair combability, dye leveling, thickening, dye retaining and others. These compounds are highly compatible with sulfates and .alpha.-olefin sulfonates and anionic surfactant salts conventionally employed in shampoos, skin lotions and textile treating products. Their compatibility is such that up to 5% by weight or more of the quaternized compounds can be incorporated in the formulation, a characteristic which permits the formation of effective formulations as liquids or gels. In contrast, most prior quaternary viscosity building conditioning compounds are incorporatable only up to 0.5 or 1 wt. percent based on total anionic formulations. The pyrrolidonyl compounds which contain an octadecyl moiety on the quaternary nitrogen are particularly outstanding for their compatability, viscosity building and fiber and hair conditioning properties. The pyrrolidonyl products having a hexadecyl moiety on the quaternized nitrogen possess biocidal properties and can be used in a mouthwash or as a highly compatable preservative in shampoo, hair conditioners and hand or body lotions. It is contemplated that mixtures of the pyrrolidonyl compounds, such as the C.sub.16 and C.sub.18 terminally substituted compounds, can be employed in shampoos, hair conditioners and lotions as well as textile treating compositions as an agent which incorporates thickening, conditioning and preservative qualities in one additive; thus eliminating the need for separate chemical components to accomplish these individual needs. These mixtures may also be used to control dandruff or bacterial infections of the scalp and body skin. Generally, the quaternary compounds of this invention are mixed with a standard formulation of shampoo, cream rinse, hand or body lotion or creams, mouthwash, etc., in an effective amount which ranges from between about 0.05 to about 8% by weight, preferably between about 0.5 and about 5% by weight, of the total formulation. The compatability of the present compounds with anionic .alpha.-olefin sulfonates is surprising since most anionic compounds cause precipitation of cationic agents. However, the present compounds in concentrations up to 5% by weight show no tendency to precipitate after extended periods including periods up to 6 months or more.

The quaternary pyrrolidonyl compounds of this invention are prepared by an economically feasible process which involves the reaction between the corresponding tertiary amine which may be a polyamine or an amino amide and a N-haloalkyl lactam having a 5 to 10 membered ring. A general equation for the preparation is defined by the equation: ##STR6## wherein m, R, R.sub.7, R.sub.4, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, Y and X.sup.-- are as defined above and X is chloro, bromo or iodo.

Examples of suitable N-haloalkyl lactam reactants include the N-chloroethyl, N-chloropropyl, N-chlorobutyl, N-chloromethyl, N-bromomethyl and N-iodopropyl derivatives of 2-pyrrolidone, 4-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, 4-butyl-2-pyrrolidone, 2-piperidone, methyl-2-piperidone, 2-azacycloheptanone, 2-azacyclooctanone, 2-azacyclononanone, 2-azacyclodecanone and C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl substituted derivatives located on an alkylene group in the heterocyclic ring of these lactams. Mixtures of these lactam reactants can also be employed to provide a correspondingly mixed quaternary product, if desired. Of these lactam reactants, the N-halomethyl-2-pyrrolidones, N-halomethyl 2-piperidones and 2-azacycloheptanones are preferred and the N-chloromethyl lactams are most preferred.

Preferred tertiary amido amine coreactants employed in the present process include methyl and ethyl tertiary amido amines having one or more C.sub.8 to C.sub.22 alkyl groups, for example

N-methyl-N-dodecyl-N-(3-decanamidopropyl)amine; N-ethyl-N-methyl-N-(3-dodecanamidopropyl)amine; N,N-dimethyl-N-(3-tetradecanamidobutyl)amine; N,N-bis(hydroxyethyl)-N-(2-octanamidoethyl)amine, N-ethyl-N-decyl-N-(3-octadecanamidopropyl)amine; N-butyl-N-methyl(2-hexadecanamidoethyl)amine; N,N-dimethyl-N-(4-decanamidobutyl)amine; N-methyl-N-tetradecyl-N-(butyramidobutyl)amine; N-methyl-N,N-(3-tetradecanamidopropyl)amine; N-methyl-N-phenyl-N-(3-hexadecanamidopropyl)amine; N,N-dibenzyl-N-(2-octadecanamidoethyl)amine; N-methyl-N,N-bis(3-undecanamidopropyl)amine N-propyl-N,N-bis(undecanamidophenyl)amine etc.

Other suitable coreactants including any of the carbamoyl amine counterparts of the above compounds. e.g. N-butyl-N,N-bis[(decylcarbamoyl)phenyl]amine, and any of the tertiary amines corresponding to the aforenamed quaternized products of this invention, are also suitably employed.

Also included in the scope of this invention are tertiary amido amines or carbamoyl amines wherein a C.sub.8 to C.sub.30 alkyl group represented by R.sub.2, R.sub.3 or R.sub.7 is itself substituted with alkyl or alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, phenyl, tolyl, xylyl, halo substituted mono cyclic aromatics, styryl, benzyl, amido. Tris C.sub.8 to C.sub.22 alkylamidoalkyl coreactants can also be employed in the reaction, examples of which include tri(3-hexadecanamidopropyl)amine, tri(4-octadecanamidobutyl)amine, tri(2-dodecanamidoethyl)amine, tri(3-decanamidopropyl)amine, etc.

The most preferred amino coreactants of this invention are those wherein R.sub.3 is methyl, R.sub.2 is methyl or R.sub.4 --Y--R.sub.7 and at least one of R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.7 is C.sub.8 to C.sub.22 alkyl.

The process is effected by reacting the tertiary amine coreactant and the haloalkyl lactam reactant at a temperature between about 25.degree. and about 150.degree. C., preferably between about 60.degree. and about 100.degree. C., under a pressure of from about 0 to about 50 psig, preferably atmospheric pressure, for a period up to about 10 hours, usually not more than 5 hours is required to complete the reaction. From the above, it is seen that stoichiometric amounts of haloalkyl lactam and amine are used in the reaction. However, an excess of one or the other of the components is practicible in the process. Generally, for economic considerations, a mole ratio of between 1:1.5 and about 1.5:1 is employed; although, a slight excess of the tertiary amine is recommended to insure complete reaction of the lactam. Accordingly, the most preferred mole ratio of lactam to amine is about 1:1.01-1:1.03.

It is also recommended that the haloalkyl lactam be added gradually or dropwise to the amine at the beginning of the ensuing exothermic reaction. At the completion of the reaction, a solid product is formed and recovered. Since the reaction is quantitative, the product can be used as is or, when a slight excess of the amine is employed, it can be neutralized with a weak acid such as acetic, lactic or citric acid.

For incorporating into a standard formulation of shampoo, cream rinse, hand or body lotion, textile treating formulations etc., the present product is dissolved in an inert solvent such as water, propylene glycol, ethanol, etc., and the solution in the desired amount is mixed into the formulation to provide a homogeneous liquid, gel, cream or lotion. Incorporation of the present product is usually affected at room temperature under atmospheric pressure and requires no special formulating technique. However, for certain formulations incorporation of the present product can be effected at temperatures up to about 85.degree. C. Amphoteric-containing shampoo formulations are best prepared by initially preparing an aqueous solution of the quaternized product and the amphoteric surfactant and then adding the solution to the shampoo formulation.

Having generally described the invention, reference is now had to the accompanying examples which set forth preferred embodiments, but which are not to be construed as limiting to the scope of the invention as more broadly set forth above and in the appended claims.

EXAMPLE I

To a 1 liter, 4-neck flask equipped with mechanical stirrer, reflux condenser, thermometer, and dropping funnel is added N,N-dimethyl-N-(3-octadecanlamidopropyl)amine (0.505 mole) which is heated with stirring to 70.degree. C. under N.sub.2 blanket after which the heating source is removed and N-chloromethyl-2-pyrrolidone (0.5 mole) is added to the amine dropwise over a period of 25 minutes. An exothermic reaction ensues and is controlled at 100.degree. C. by the rate of addition of N-chloromethyl-2-pyrrolidone. The reaction mixture changes from a liquid to a paste during the addition of N-chloromethyl-2-pyrrolidone and finally to a solid on completion of the reaction. The yield of N,N-dimethyl-N-[(2-pyrrolidonyl)methyl]-N-(3-octadecanamidopropyl)ammonium chloride, m.p. 45.degree.-50.degree.
